  • Needs assistance with coping skills during a procedure or test

  • Has difficulty coping with hospitalization

  • Has been diagnosed with a life threatening or chronic illness and may face repeated hospitalizations or extended stays

  • Needs a developmental assessment

  • Would benefit from therapeutic play activities in the playroom or at bedside
